    The excretion of catecholamines was studied in schoolchildren aged 9-11 years in relation to the degree of atmospheric air pollution with nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and dust in th Silesian industrial region. It was found that atmospheric pollution increase within the acceptable range produced stimulation of the sympathetic system, and pollution exceeding manifold this range decreased significantly the level of excreted catecholamines in children. This was particularly evident in the case of dopamine.
